The Imperial Steel and Wire Company occupied this site, shipping nails across Canada. Factory was partially destroyed in a fire in 1919 and was promptly rebuilt, but could never get the business well established again, and it closed in 1925.
At the commencement of Second World War, Clyde Aircraft Manufacturing moved into the factory that Imperial Wire and Steel had left vacant. Clyde made parts for the Mosquito bomber, which was constructed of plywood, and shipped them to Camp Borden.
The end of the Second World War the activities of Clyde Aircraft came to an end, but the provincial government worked out an agreement with the British Board of Trade to support a new enterprise, Globe Plywood Limited, that manufactured and exported do-it-yourself plywood furniture which could be assembled by the purchaser. Globe simply replaced Clyde in the same space. After the termination of the English contracts, the company expanded its production, improved its designs, was renamed Kaufman Furniture, and began exporting throughout Canada and the United States. In the late 1940s it employed almost 200 people.
In 2000, The plant was purchased five years ago by Krug Inc., a Kitchener-based manufacturer of office furniture solutions that does business throughout North America.
In 2005, Krug, blaming the rise of the Canadian dollar over the past few years, announced the closure of the factory resulting in the loss of jobs for more than 130 local employees.

My money is on demolition with redevelopment into condominiums, or time-shares.
